    2:02 - you may be able to build a house out of straw, however you're not normally driving combustible engines inside them! This is a huge liability disaster waiting to happen. Either a major fire, or the snow is too heavy for the straw roof, and there's an avalanche, and people are basically buried alive.

    One of the reasons I watch Dragon's Den and Shark Tank is to see other people's business ideas and how they are selling their product line. I discover how valuation is determined. And what it takes to secure a deal with a Dragon (or shark). I wonder if those who come on this show truly understands the working behind all of this. And I question how Dragon's Den even allowed an individual to appear on the show without provable sales. Yes, we all have dreams...and maybe this kind of episode helps others. I just find it sad to watch when something is obviously not going to attract an investor.

    A classic case of asking for 100% of the required capital and yet only offering 50% of the equity. The only the way there could be any fairness in that is if she draws no salary AND brings CAD 2m in sweat equity, which is clearly not the case. Valuing the company by reference to the money she needs (and how much equity she is willing to part with) rather than by what it’s worth.
